Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 8 The Work of a Lawyer

——Criminals themselves are illogical.

Yuan Yuzi summarized the other party's core point, but didn't know how to refute it.

Because she has never come into contact with criminals, and to put it another way, she has never come into contact with real cases.

She still has five months left before graduating from the police academy. If you really look closely, she is just a college student who has just graduated.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class and the class monitor collected the portrait painting assignments one by one. Only then did Yuan Yuzi come to her senses and hastily added a few strokes on the drawing board.

"Who are you drawing this of?"

The monitor held up the drawing paper, and saw doodle-like facial features on the delicate and fixed outline - inverted triangle eyes, a high nose, a grinning mouth, and jagged teeth.

Gen Yuzi glanced back guiltily and whispered, "It's the painting of Fushimi-san."

The monitor showed an expression of understanding.

When he was finishing the homework of subduing Jianlu, he noticed that the person drawn on the white paper was Yuan Yuzi. The brushstrokes were very delicate, and the aggrieved expression of Yuan Yuzi was particularly vivid.

Yuan Yuzi didn't know what the squad leader was thinking, but she always felt that there was something wrong with his eyes.

She picked up the bench and ran away from the classroom, catching up with Fushimi Lu: "Fushimi-san, wait for me!"

"What's wrong again?" Fushimi Shika turned back impatiently.

It's quite interesting to kill time with her in the painting class, but it's unacceptable if it takes up her personal rest time.

"Well, I reconsidered it and felt that what you said made sense and that you are capable of being my partner, so..."

Fushimi Shika interrupted, "150,000 yen, no bargaining."

Yuan Yuzi was shocked: "Why did the price go up again?"

“Moral damages.”

"But I don't have that much money..."

"How many do you have?" asked Fushimi Shika.

Yuan Yuzi put down the bench, took out the piggy banknote again, took out the big bills from the piggy banknote, counted them one by one, and said in a low voice:

"It's just over 120,000... This is my pocket money for this month. If I give it all to you, I'll have no money left."

Fushimi Shika inexplicably felt guilty about blackmailing elementary school students.

But then I thought, which elementary school student can have more than 120,000 yuan in pocket money a month? Besides, it’s the end of the month! In other words, she has too much pocket money to spend!
"How about 100,000 yen?" Yuan Yuzi handed over a stack of money and said carefully, "Kawayoshi and I have agreed to go to a dessert shop at the end of the month for the holiday. I want to save 20,000 yen for Charlotte cake."

This scene is like an ignorant girl being cheated of money by a scumbag.

Fushimi Shika was silent for a while, struggling within himself.

Two little figures appeared in his mind, a demon holding a fork on the left and an angel wearing a halo on the right.

The devil said, "God help me! I can eat this silly little fat sheep for the rest of my life. I won't stop until I squeeze her dry!" Before the angel could even open her mouth, the devil stabbed her with a fork.

Then, it stepped on the angel's corpse, lay down beside Fushimi Deer's ear and tempted her: "Play the long game and catch the big fish. What's 100,000 yen? First win her favor, then find a way to marry into her family, and live a life of idleness and waiting to die in the rich loli's house..."

Fushimi Shika, oh Fushimi Shika, how could you be so depraved?

He shook his head and sighed secretly, and took 50,000 yen from Yuan Yuzi, which was the amount agreed upon at the beginning.

"I accept your employment. From now on, we are partners."

Yuan Yuzi's eyes lit up. She nodded solemnly and said with a smile:

"I knew that Fushimi-san was actually a decent person at heart."

"Nonsense, isn't this obvious?" Fushimi Lu put the money in his pocket and said, "Let's make it clear in advance that once the case is investigated, our employment relationship will end."

I can't be his lifelong partner just for 50,000 yen, right? He made the calculations clear in his mind.

"Eh? You mean, is there any clue in the case? How should we investigate it?"

Yuan Yuzi was already prepared for the possibility of failure in the investigation. After all, she couldn't ask Instructor Sakurai directly about this matter, and she couldn't take the letter away for inspection...

Although she refuted Fushimi Shika's speculation, she actually agreed in her heart that "the statute of limitations for the case has expired."

Fushimi Shika carried a stool and walked back to the classroom, saying casually:

"If you pursue the truth too much, you will lose your way. In fact, there is no need to find out what instructor Sakurai did wrong. We just need to find the 'victim' who sent the anonymous letter."

Yuan Yuzi suddenly realized that the first sentence in the anonymous letter was "I know what you did" - instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it would be better to ask the person involved directly.

"But wouldn't the results of such an investigation be one-sided?" she asked.

"It's better to have one side of the story than to know nothing at all, right?" Fushimi said, "Finally, we have come to the area you are good at. Please use your clever little brain to figure out who the sender is."

He spoke in a high-sounding manner, but in fact he had selfish motives.

Fushimi Lu's mind moved, and the system task appeared in front of him again:
"Murder for hire: receiving a commission and avenging the victim on Chizuru Sakurai"

"Mission Reward: Skill Points*2"

Collecting commissions and helping victims take revenge on murderers...isn't that what a lawyer does?
If Yuan Yuzi could find the sender, he might be able to open a business and take his first order. As expected, no matter which country, there are a large number of vulnerable groups who need legal assistance.

Even if the case is dismissed in the end, at least he has submitted an appeal and can make Sakurai Chizuru lose her job, which can be considered as revenge... right?

After deciding on the direction of the investigation, the two put their chairs back to their seats and went downstairs to the cafeteria together.

Fushimi Shika never eats in the cafeteria, and will pack up the set meals he buys and take them back to the dormitory to eat. Even when Minako invited him to have lunch together, he refused.

Gen Yuzi had no choice but to go to Kawai, who was a Category B student who was not in the same class as her and had different schedules.

She carried her food tray and looked around in the cafeteria. The male students all stared at Yuan Yuzi, secretly praying that she would sit next to them.

"Tamako-chan!" Kawai waved, "Here!"

Gen Yuzi walked over quickly, sat down next to Kawai, and couldn't wait to share: "I have a direction for investigation!"

"Are you still thinking about the anonymous letter from last night? You have dark circles under your eyes." Kawai said, smacking his lips.

"That's not important. Listen to me. I just..."

Yuan Yuzi originally wanted to say that she had a flash of inspiration and discovered the blind spot in solving the case, so that she could show off in front of her good friends.

But she hesitated for a while and still didn't feel like lying: "I just talked to Fushimi-san and was inspired by him. Instead of investigating what Instructor Sakurai did, it's better to investigate the identity of the sender!"

Kawai took the last bite of rice, with rice grains on his lips, and said in bewilderment, "But there are more than 600 people in the police academy, and there are only two of us. How can we investigate?"

"It's three people," Gentamako corrected, "Fushimi-san is now also a member of our reasoning team!"

She paused, then continued, "Besides, I have already deduced the identity of the sender."
